Have you ever been browsing the web with your BlackBerry handheld, merrily tweeting your updates, when you suddenly hit a red light trying to watch the latest “American Idol” ep on YouTube? It could happen. While your BlackBerry can get you onto most websites free and clear, there’s a small handful of sites that require you to switch on a separate internet access first before getting into the site. The moment you do that, you get billed an additional P 5 for every 15 minutes of web browsing on those sites, using your BlackBerry. (more below)
If you’re wondering why this is so, it’s because some content-rich websites may not yet be optimized for a handheld device like your BlackBerry; if you try to browse them, you’d need to switch over to regular internet access to get the best experience.
But those days are gone because Globe is launching Super Surf for Blackberry Max, a new service that gets the CrackBerry addict in you just about anywhere you want to go on the web. With Super Surf for BlackBerry Max, there’s virtually no limit to what you can do online: Email, browse the web, chat with pals via BlackBerry Messenger and even stream your favorite videos on your BlackBerry phone.
Open to both Globe postpaid and prepaid BlackBerry lovers, Super Surf for BlackBerry Max is just P 1500 a month or P300 for 5 days, and will be available till August 18, 2010. And Super Surf for BlackBerry Max works great with Globe’s array of BlackBerry offers, like the top-of-the-line Bold 9700, favored by showbiz and high society, and the collegiate Curve 8520, the back-to-school starter model which comes in ruby-red, snow-white and classic black.
Globe’s Super Surf for BlackBerry Max is also a great add-on to the array of My SuperPlan offers, which means that My SuperPlan customers who own a BlackBerry can easily upgrade their surfing experience by asking for the Super Surf for BlackBerry Max plan.
Martha Sazon, Head of Globe Postpaid, says, “We want to make the internet experience as smooth and worry-free as it can be. Super Surf was designed with that in mind: Giving our customers unlimited and convenient access to the internet content and websites that they love. Now with Super Surf for BlackBerry Max, we are upping the ante and letting them go anywhere they want in cyberspace, no holds barred. We encourage all our BlackBerry users to upgrade their surfing experience with Super Surf for BlackBerry Max.”
Your maxed-out Super Surf experience is just a click away. Register via text by sending BB MAX 300 (5 days) to 8888, for 5 days of unlimited browsing on your Globe BlackBerry handset. And if you want the full 30-day service, just text BB MAX ON (30 days) to 8888.
